Nice location - easy and accessible
Came to Playa del Carmen with a group of friends. We all stayed within the El Faro complex. The condo unit I rented worked very well. Its close to town (and dive shops). Plenty of restaurant options next door. The convenience to nearby bars and clubs made getting home very easy. I would stay again. Note: If you're a light sleeper, then I would recommend bringing ear plugs. Playa del Carmen's nightlife is loud until about 3am.

All about location
This property is all about the location being on the ocean and also centrally located about 1 block from 5th Street where shops/restaurants and such line the street. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing accommodation, this wouldn't be the place. The reviews are correct in saying the nitely music is loud until about 2:30-3am. The actual condo needs some revamping. Exterior paint is peeling. Spiral stairs to the rooftop are rusted with loose board. Barbeque needed a lighter to be lit, and the grate was disgusting. We bought aluminum foil on which to cook. Appeared as though the stove wasn't used ever and the microwave minimally. Additional pots/pans/containers for leftovers would be nice. I will say that the water dispenser was a great surprise (I missed that in the property photos)! The sofa (futon maybe you call it with the sleeper) was uncomfortable. Only 2 of the plastic chairs on the balcony had cushions, and even so, the cushions hung way out over the seat of the chair. The rooftop furniture was nicer. Nice touch for palm plants but need some water. Fortunately we have an Amazon Prime membership and figured out how to watch TV that way. Otherwise, no TV. Router had to be reset often. Shower pans didn't allow water to reach drains, so showers were taken in inches of standing water from previous shower. Housekeeping came every other day but didn't show our last 3 days. Folks on property don't do anything for this condo. We were missing washcloths/dish towels.

El Faro - Coral 401 - An amazing stay!
This was our first time staying in Coral 401. (we have stayed in another unit years ago). The unit is furnished very nicely with everything you would need. The rooftop patio and pool was wonderful. Nice to have your own space with an amazing view of the ocean! Management of the condo were fantastic to work with, responded quickly with any questions and requests. The location is perfect for access to the beach and to 5th Avenue. Yes, you can hear music at night, but there are bars and clubs all around Playa so it is to be expected. We love music - so we enjoyed it! There isn't much beach along most of the main part of Playa del Carmen - but that didn't stop us from enjoying the walks on the beach and visiting different beach bars! This was one of our favorite trips to Playa. If you stay here, you will not be disappointed!

Pictures should be updated because it looks much better in real life than the current pictures. This place should be for 4 people max. Some positives and negatives: +host was very prompt at responding +pool and rooftop +great location at the heart of PDC. -the music was loud every night. Master bedroom was not too bad but the other bedroom does not have good soundproof. -not a deal breaker but the place needs better upkeeping -no new towels

If you are are looking for a place in the middle of all the action this is the place you will want to be! Within a few hundred feet are restaurants, shops, beaches and excursions. Lots of bars and nightclubs all around. So if you want the night life this is a great place to stay!

Great Location
We had a great time here with the location being so central to the action of downtown Playa. We liked being able to take advantage of the plunge pool at any time to cool off. The bed was pretty comfortable (we were in the master). The bath mat and a couple of the hand towels could use replacing as they are looking a little worn. Overall it was a comfortable place to stay with everything you need to rest and relax after checking out all the sites in Playa and in Cozumel.

El Faro is a superbly located building with wonderful amenities for a stay in Playa Del Carmen.
Wonderful location, good amenities, super secure feeling, beautiful views. We stayed in March ‘23 for Spring Break with 3 kids ( 7, 12, 15 ) and really enjoyed the pool. Proximity to restaurants, stores, bars, and even to organize tours would be hard to beat. Property management super easy to communicate with and super responsive to questions and to assist in organizing pick ups and tours. I would stay here again without hesitation due to all of the above. Thank you for a great week!

Room was great. Staff is phenomenal!! The only thing the complex should address are the people that 'reserve' a lounge chair with their beach towel and then only use it for an hour throughout the day.

Perfect Location!!!
Other than a few hiccups, the place is absolutely perfect! You couldn't get a better location. It's right on the beach, and only a few blocks down from all the restaurants & shops. The staff is Awesome!! Not only is the condo spotless, the entire property is spotless! If it rains, you see people automatically mopping and drying the floors. We would not hesitate to rent this place again. Now for the hiccups. We rented the 2 bedroom 3 bath condo for an entire week, but they only gave us 2 beach towels, and 4 bath towels. That would have been ok, but there's no washer and dryer in the unit. You have to buy tokens (only in Pecos) from the front desk to use the washer and dryer down on the first floor. If you're on vacation, it's no fun having to visit the onsite laundromat everyday. The towels they give you are white, slightly stained old looking hotel towels, but there's several areas that state if you lose or damage one they'll charge you $22. Kind of ridiculous. Our rental contract also said that there would be housekeeping coming in every 2 days. Housekeeping never came the week we were there. It wouldn't have been a problem if we had a place to put our trash, or a vacuum for the floors, but we had neither. By the time we left all our trash was full, and the floor was in need of cleaning. But all that said, the Good outweighed the bad by a mile!!!! Hence the 5 star review!!
